Student learning support programs in higher education can often mean the difference between failing and success. Crosling and Webb (both of Monash U., Australia) present 20 case studies describing "points of crisis" that they hope will demonstrate the variety of forms and methods used in successful learning support programs in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and South Africa. In addition to the geographic range, the cases explore a range of student backgrounds and types of disability. Each case provides background information setting the stage for the particular issues raised. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This volume focuses on the support programmes that all higher education establishments have in place to aid and develop student learning. The work is designed to equip HE professionals with an accessible guide to some of the best practices in this field from around the world.
